It's above freezing here on The Wirral. I do hope it's not too warm
in Snowdonia tomorrow. The BBC website says it's going to be 6degC;
T-shirt weather!

Above freezing (just) in the Clwydians this afternoon but enough snow
to make everywhere look magical.
The plan was a nice gentle post lunch stroll up Moel Arthur. Best laid
plans........................ On our way down we met a gang of kids of
all ages tobogganing down the north side of the hill. They offered us
a ride so after a *very* quick descent and a more or less dignified
stop at the bottom I watched in horror as my wife got on another
toboggan and came down - her stop wasn't quite so dignified but
nothing broken - we even managed to find her specs. What a ride, much
better than those homemade toboggans we had as kids. Must be best part
of 50 years since either of us had been on a toboggan - it really made
our day.

Yes, all the best. Will the new decade be the Tenties? (groan...)

It was above freezing when I wrote the above, but there was still ice on
some roads.

Seems to be warming up now that the rain is back. However the Met Office is
warning of a moderate risk of heavy snow for Wales on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I don't see why not. What else would we call it? What did they call the
noughties and the tenties last century?

La belle epoque? Or did that cover the period from the last decade of
the previous century upto the start of the war? The Edwardian period
is largely concurrent.
